Call for 'treason' probe into Andrew's Epstein links - as searches at ex-duke's former home continue
Senior MPs urge a parliamentary probe into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Peter Mandelson amid ongoing police searches and allegations of passing confidential documents to Epstein.
- On Thursday, February 19, 2026, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office and is under investigation for allegedly forwarding privileged documents to Jeffrey Epstein.
- Peter Mandelson resigned as ambassador after Epstein links surfaced, with his vetting fast-tracked by No 10 and the Foreign Office despite $75,000 allegedly paid into accounts connected to him.
- Photos show Peter Mandelson had Developed Vetting status within three and a half weeks, while sources said the process normally takes six months or more but was expedited under pressure from No 10 and the Foreign Office.
- Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces mounting pressure as the scandal unfolds, with an Ipsos poll this week finding 47% favour the royal family and just 28% approve its handling.
- Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, a senior MP urged revisiting treason laws written 700 years ago if the worst is proved, while commentators warn this fuels anti-monarchical sentiment and urges Parliament not to forget women and girls who were victims of Epstein's network.
